This Crime Stoppers Program began in
1982 from the efforts of our City
Commission and our Police
Department. Our Program now operates
as an independant organization. The
concept has developed into a
combination of efforts by local
media, businesses, civic and social
clubs, law enforcement agencies, and
the public. Donations of airtime,
newspaper space, and reward monies
have established Crime Stoppers as
an effective tool to fight crime in
the area.

Crime Stoppers is comprised of
diverse, active and dedicated
community representatives. Crime
Stoppers provides a method for local
law enforcement to receive
information on crimes. These efforts
increase tips, which in turn
increase arrests in our community.
